In this episode, Saima shares information of near extinct of northern white rhinos in the wild. Some of you may have heard the heart-breaking news of the world's last surviving male northern white rhino has died March of 2018.  The 45-year-old male rhino named Sudan had been suffering from age-related issues and multiple infections. He had been living at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. He surrounded by armed guards in the days leading up to his death to protect him from poachers.

Now, there are only two female northern white rhinos left.  Meaning, all northern white rhinos are gone except these two-last females. But For genetic reasons they are both unable to breed which means saving this specie from extinct is a significant challenge.

Greenland is the 2nd largest ice sheet on the planet after Antarctica, melted at a rate in summer of 2019. Scientists says the melts due to increasing global temperatures. It’s normal that during summer ice melts and winter snowfalls gain ice mass but that’s not what’s happening in Greenland Ice sheet.
